Jon...sorry. This is re-post from pitchfork.
According to the Village Voice's Rob Harvilla, the next Neil Young album is going to be, seriously, a "concept album about eco-friendly cars." According to The Guardian, the album "seems to be exploring three things – dirty blues, direct lyrics, and his LincVolt electric car project."
Woof. And if both sources are to be believed, the new songs are both perplexing and terrible, which of course will not prevent Neil Young from stuffing his setlist with these songs until he gets tired of doing so. Neil Young, you see, does whatever the fuck he wants.
That concept album is going to be called Fork in the Road, and Warner Bros. will release it sometime this spring. As The Guardian reports, Neil Young fans are pissed off not only because the new songs suck, but because this album is pushing back the release of his long-delayed Blu-ray Archives project yet again.
Sample song titles from Fork in the Road, all of which confirm the concept-album-about-cars thesis: "Cough Up the Bucks", "Fuel Line", "Hit the Road", "Get Around".
Young's website is currently streaming the video for the title track and first single, and the entire thing consists of Young lip-syncing into a webcam while wearing earbuds that are plugged into an apple. At the end he plays air guitar. I am not joking.
Young is currently on tour Down Under.
